Cox Communications demos Wave7 FTTH gear at Consumer Electronics Show

Cable TV company Cox Communications is using Wave7 Optics' gear for its' FTTH (fiber to the home) demo at the Home by Design Show House during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

To date, there's not been much public interest in FTTH shown by the large cable TV MSOs (multi-system operators), although I understand they've been quietly looking at FTTH technology for several years. Some are already using it for fiber to the business (FTTB) applications in business districts where they don't already have coax cable installed.
